We are currently looking at leasing a center while waiting for I-924 approval. We have heard that leasing-a-center can add additional delays to I-526 applications. Knowing that the first I-526 will have the business plan and economic analysis whether it's through our own center or one we lease, are there any extra delays to leasing-a-center as opposed to using our center once approved? It seems like the I-526 will go through the same process, whether is through a center we lease or though our own, so if we lease a center then we could potentially submit our first I-526 sooner than waiting for our center to be approved. It will be a year this December that our I-924 has been pending.

I-526 Petitions may take up to 12 months to be adjudicated by USCIS. Associating with an existing regional center may provide a benefit of familiarity in the eyes of USCIS, but there’s no guarantee of approval or an actual timeline.

Working with and retaining experienced EB5 counsel, like the team at our law firm, is essential to create a strategy that will best help you accomplish your EB5 goals.

Whether you file an I-526 petition with your own Regional center or rent one there will no difference in the time delay for adjudication of the I-526 petition.Delays can be reduced by the hiring of an experienced EB-5 immigration attorney such as our law firm to prepare the I-526 petition.
